After our time in Mendocino, we headed inland and south towards Napa Valley. On the way we stopped at Guy Fieri's restaurant called Johnny Garlic's. Wow, it was wonderful! We all shared some appetizers...garlic soup, fries with garlic, caprese salad. Then the entrees came. Ryan had a spicy chicken pizza which he enjoyed, and I absolutely loved my pizza called French Pig. It had pancetta, brie, green apples, leeks and a balsamic glaze on it...oh my my. Finally we made it!
We stayed for three nights at the lovely Wine Country Inn. Such a quaint little inn. They have 25 rooms and 5 villas. They serve a homemade breakfast each morning (the granola recipe is in our family cookbook, and it is so good!), and they have a wine and appetizer time with a different winery featured each evening.
This was the view from our balcony. We look right over Duckhorn Winery.
Even though I loved the humongous jacuzzi tub in our bathroom that looked out over the vineyard, this fireplace is my favorite part of the room. There are no tvs here, so in the evening, it was great to light a fire, read a book and relax.
We may have enjoyed some wine and cheese on the balcony a few times!
We explored the Duckhorn vineyard a little bit one day since it was so close by. I love seeing all the rows of grapes!
Since we arrived just before the harvest, all the rows of grapes were full, like this.
Walking around the Inn's grounds was nice too as there were beautiful flowers everywhere. Here are a few pictures of my favorites.
This is such a lovely place to stay!
